Comments:

It appears authorities will let the helpful individual firing the warning shots slide this time. Obviously that is a crime of some sort but no one was hit and it did break up the intended crime in progress.

Most instructors say never ever fire a warning shot. Once in a while I take issue with that. If you know where the bullet will stop and it’s clearly safe, sometime there are exceptions to that never ever rule. [I know,,, let the debate commence below…]
